We are the Millers - Our first trip with Martha. Nov/Dec 2021
Hello Dibbers,
This trip might be a bit optimistic, but I'm feeling more confident by the day so I thought a pre trippie was in order. Cast Me - Abi, currently 35, will be 36 by travel day. Husband Aaron, will still be 35 by travel day. Daughter number 1 - Edith, currently 3, will be 4 by travel day. Daughter number 2 - Martha, currently 6 months, will be 1 by travel day. MIL - Laura, 56 at time of travel. Here's a selection of recent photos. The plan! Like many other Dibbers we had to cancel Florida plans due to Covid and since then have been desperate to get another plan in place. I'm forever browsing prices and back in January I saw some really good fly-drive prices with BA. We thought there was a good chance flights may be resumed by the end of the year so we took the risk & booked. A 13 night stay covering the end of November / beginning of December. We paid £1793 for the 5 of us which includes direct flights LHR to MCO & a luxury 7 seater car. Absolute bargain! I've since checked the price and gone up by £1400 Next up was accommodation. Ideally we wanted to stay at the Blue Heron Beach Resort again. For us it's perfect, lovely large condos, great pool area and a 5 minute drive to Disney Springs. Unfortunately the prices were ridiculous so I had a look around. Expedia came through for us and I secured the full stay at Caribe Cove resort. We have paid £970 for a 2 bed condo, which again seems a bargain as anywhere else I look the price is almost double. I got so many confirmation emails, some from Expedia, some from Vacasa and some from VRBO! They all seem to confirm the same though so hopefully its all go. It is on a cancellable rate, so If I see the Blue Heron come down in price, I will make a change. Next up is a Premier inn for the night before we fly. I got their sale email offering £35 rooms so managed to secure 2 at the Bath road location where we have stayed before. Car Parking next, again, prompted by an offer via email, we have booked Meet & Greet parking for 2 cars (too much of a squeeze to have Laura between the car seats). We each paid £72. That's all that's booked for now. I'll hold off booking anything like Disney tickets until much nearer the time. I'm not even sure we will visit at all if a lot of the restrictions are still in place. Disney without FP+ would be hard with 2 little ones. I would like to do Universal this time if possible and we will also try and do MVMCP. Ill update with any additional bookings . Edited at 08:33 AM. |
